If it wasn't for Pau Gasol's arrival in 08, Kobe would probably be in a Bulls uniform right now, and I highly doubt you'd be a Laker fan as you would probably be sore at management these last 4 yrs for wasting away KB's prime yrs without bringing in a #2 option to compliment him.

Be thankful for what you have had in the past and what you have now (Dwight and Nash) and just be patient. Let's patiently wait and see how this all plays out.

First of all, I don't deal in hypothetical's. Kobe didn't leave and I don't care the reason. Management was going to get someone to make Kobe happy, Pau or not.

Secondly, I've been a Lakers fan since 84, I watched the Lakers floor Sam Bowie, Elden Campbell, Cedric Cebollos, Anthony Peeler, Terry Teagle, Sedale Threat, etc. I never jump ship. I've been to games at the forum and staples. I dont give a **** about Kobe, **** Kobe. If Kobe leaves, we bring in another superstar and the show goes on.

This is going to be a win win for me. If they win games they will trade Pau which is great cause I can't see them winning without him. If they lose I just get to sit back and watch PSD explode haha this is gonna be great

@paulpierce34 I told Wade I will **** his mom like how my man D. West did his mans. Thats why I got ejected

It's funny that the coach who threw him under the bus is being so kind now.

this guy has been playing through pain and everybody arond him has been using him for a scape goat. He deserves so much better than this.

LAL doesn't appreciate what this guy does for the team. Playing through pain like that? Most guys would have been off since the start of the season witht he pain he's been playing through.

I hope Gasol ends up somewhere where he'll be appreciated!

I agree. I am one of the rare Lakers fans that believes in Pau. We owe two of our rings to that guy and I believe that Jim Buss's incompetence is what is really hurting him.

Pau was tailor made for Phil's offense. Jim's little inferiority complex towards Phil is what's hurting Lakers fans the most. Jim should have hired Phil back after his little Mike Brown experiment blew up in his face. Now he is going to have to trade Pau just to accommodate another terrible decision he made. His mistakes just keep compounding and he is too arrogant to admit he is wrong. It's really a damn shame.

Why do some Laker fans treat this guy like ****? Without him, Kobe would not have his 4th/5th. Pau is an extremely smart player and possesses a very high skill level. I would appreciate the hell out of Pau if he was on my team.

pretty much.

Nash should have been the guy to play outside his comfort zone in the triangle. Not Gasol in the dantoni offense. Gasol gets paid twice the money and is six years younger.

He's faking... He just doesn't want to get traded, so he needs to let other GM's out their know, that he has bad knees..etc

Anything to stay in L.A I guess.
